Here at MMI we just started Monday morning messenger which is on power point and it shows the going ons here and around school it also lists at least 2 dearlerships hiring and that a lone gives the students a boost seeing that places are still hiring.
BTI makes every effort to work with individual students using the best technique for them to learn. I am a Graphic Design Instructor andI have many Lab hours. I am able to spend one-on-one time with all of my students. I treat each student as a unique student and use whatever method of presentation will provide the individual student with a sense of accomplishment.
The administration provides total support and allows us to approach our classes as we feel will encourage, enhance and help the student meet their personal goals.

Our institution makes sure that each instruction plays an active role in retention of students. Each faculty member is expected to keep students up to date on grading and coursework. Struggling students are directed toward tutoring either by the instructor or a peer. Students have the freedom to openly discuss class issues with the instructor, and most take advantage of this opportunity.
We have tried many group activities at our campus, but have not been successful. Hoe do you get students to participate in these events? Our turnout is very low.
Do you charge for the student success workshops?
At SAE Institute we assure student expectations by being clear on what we expect from our students and on what we will provide to the student. We also assure students by responding and resolving quickly to student's concerns.
My school approaches expectations and satisfaction by actually devoting time to understanding what students expect from the school and makuing sure we are on the same page. the president engages students every quarter in what is called the President's Forum for one on one discussions about their experiences, the school, the faculty, the services received and all unedited issues in the absence of all mediating influences that can affect the ability of students to be frank about the issues. The president gives us a feedback from which madifications are made in the ways things are managed. There is continuous assessment of programs, offerings, faculty evaluation and there are surveys conducted to make sure the school in on top of things.
Interesting. How is the message delivered? Monitors at the school? Attachment to email?
Do you include notices about upcoming deadlines, like financial aid dates, registration, etc?
How does the institution monitor the expectation that instructors will play an active role in retention? Is this part of their performance review?
Do you ever have a situation where your expectations from students is different that the expectations that the student has of you? How do reconcile the differences?
Does the President meet with each student individually each quarter?!? This sounds incredibly time consuming. How large is the school? How much time does he/she spend with each student?
Have you personally made any changes to your classroom presentations or techniques based on this feedback? If not, why not?
How can that happen? Why are they allowed to believe school is different? What must be done to change this situation?
We have the students fill out a CSI (customer service inquiry)every three weeks for each class.
This is monitored through close interaction with the director and department chairs for the specific areas of the college. It is also a part of the performance review.
In our school the students are introduced to the Academic Environment at the Admission office and during a Orientation class.Unfortunately, We don't have Professional Advisors. Stablishing an Instructor-Student relationship is very important. It start from the student's first day of class. Adding your qustions to our emergency information form would be a huge help.
We have a 'Critique Form' that the students fill out at the end of every three week course. If the students are dis-satisfied they can voice their opinions by selecting between Excellent, Good, Fair and Poor on the twelve, one-size fits all questions. Students are also encouraged to write in comments on the side of the Critique Form.
We assure that training aids in class are worked on by assigning as close to "out in the field" projects. We share and explain real life scenerios along with curriculum, so that student may understand daily practice out in the field.
Our institution utilizes a critique system that allows the student to comment on the effectiveness of the instructor as well as the quality of the facilities.
We strive to stay on the same page as Admissions through training and regular meetings. We keep them informed of changes and new activities that will help them sell the programs. We have weekly meetings with the management team to openly discuss any student identified as a retention risk.
we ask for feed back every three weeks from our students
